Mohanlal the Malayalam superstar who has done Mani Ratnam’s classic Iruvar and Nassar’s crass Popcarn is doing his third Tamil film. The film titled Aran is produced by ‘Super Good’ films R.B.Chowdary and directed by debutant ‘Major’ Ravi.
It is touted as a bilingual as Aran in Tamil and Keerthichakraa in Malayalam and has Mohanlal and Jeeva playing two encounter specialists cops with an army background. Along with them there is a battalion of Tamil and Malayalam character artists like Ramesh Kanna, Ganja Karuppu, VMC Haneefa, Biju Menon and in the female lead there is Gopika and Mamta Mohandas.
The camera is by Thiru and music is by Joshua Sridhar and the highlight of the film is that it is being shot in Kahmir, Ladakh and Kargil. The shooting has already started in Kashmir and says Major Ravi who was the advisor to many war films with Army backdrop films in Hindi (Pukar), Tamil (Aalavanthan)and Malayalam: “It is an all out action adventure thriller and is loosely based on Kargil war and certain other incidents”.
